iOS 27 Finally Unlinks Alarm Volume From Your iPhone Ringer

Would be nice if a long press on the volume button (in either direction) toggled a UI that asked what volume should be affected.
 
Finally. Android has pretty much always had this. After iOS 27 comes out, I'm gonna ensure everyone I know sets this.
 
But WHY is it tucked away in settings in stead of just in the clock app at the relevant alarm…
 
Good feature to have, but why is anyone turning their volume all the way down to silence their phone overnight? We have sleep mode, silent mode, and DND for that.
 
I have never trusted the alarm when traveling and when I need an alarm to wake me up for an early flight. And it's for this reason which they have finally now fixed!

Before this I always did a test alarm to make sure the volume was up so that I could sleep without fear that I would miss the alarm and then my flight. BEST FIX EVER!!
 
Tim Cook is out and we finally get the upgrade people have been dreaming (pun) about for years. Coincidence? /s

on a serious note....finally.
 
Since they’re being so “innovative” how about being able to adjust Siri’s volume instead of having to initiate Siri talking and play with the volume buttons before Siri’s done talking?

I gave up waiting for this and made two simple Shortcuts, one to turn on "Silence Unknown Callers" and the other...well, you get it. Then open Control Center, click the + to add a Control, scroll down to Shortcuts and add both of these with simple names. You can move them around so they are in your first CC screen. Done.

Ah, I have a shortcut but it does both; on and off. It works but I have to keep track which mode I am in. Two separate dedicated shortcuts would be better, if I can just figure out how to implement it.

Just create them both - one which turns it on and one which turns it off. Keeping track is tricky, unless you decide you're never going to do it any other way. If so, you can either set a variable (new in iOS 27) and toggle that value as you toggle the setting, or even smarter you can use one shortcut which renames itself depending on what it is you want it to do.

So, it's called "turn silent callers ON" and what it does is toggle "silence unknown callers" and then renames the shortcut to "turn silent callers OFF". This will go horribly wrong if you use another method to toggle that setting 😁

Unfortunately, like WiFi and Bluetooth, Apple have decided to be really awkward for absolutely no reason and blocked any attempt to determine the on/off status.
 
Still waiting for the ability to tell Siri to adjust the ringer volume, it can adjust the media volume it can adjust its own volume but it’s unable to adjust the ringer volume, well at least hopefully it will adjust the alarm volume now. 🙄📱🔉
 
This is a small change, but a very welcome one. Alarm volume should never have been tied to the ringer in the first place.

…] Which of course means that when the Music app picks up the play signal... yeah; it's painful. My ears have been assaulted by this issue more times than I can count, and my knob-turning reflexes have become distinctly well honed.

(And yes... I've reported the issue to Apple via the Feedback app.)

I suggest you contact Justin Bieber instead.

Great news. As a light sleeper, I am in the "it's a about time" camp. I do not need an alarm loud enough to wake the dead as the iPhone pretty much at random decides at which volume it's on.
